Royal Arena


MacPhisto: [sings] "Even the greatest stars... discover themself in the looking glass..." [approaches iPad on a stand; sees a devilish face superimposed over his own image] "Even the greatest stars..."

MacPhisto: [laughs] "Good evening, Co-pen...hagen."

Crowd: [cheers and whistles]

MacPhisto: "Monsieur MacPhisto at votre servicio." [laughs, then sniffs] "What's that smell?" [sniffs] "Something... rotten in the House of Denmark?" [laughs]

Crowd: [laughter and whoops]

MacPhisto: "Oh, I know what it is!  It's the stench of liberal democracy." [chuckles]

Crowd: [cheers and applause]

MacPhisto: "But don't worry – it will soon be gone. Along with the European 'project'. What a ridiculous idea, Europe. I mean, what's the point in speaking all these different languages if you insist on understanding each other?" [chuckles]

Crowd: [whoops and whistles]

MacPhisto: "Not for long. My people are everywhere. In Sweden, they call themselves democrats. Jimmie Åkesson!" [gives Nazi salute with evil laugh] "In France, they keep changing their minds. In Italy, they have too many names. In Hungary, they're just... hungry for me." [sniggers] "Hung-ry?  Hungry for me. Ha ha ha!  You get it? ...Who writes this shit?"

Crowd: [laughter]

MacPhisto: "Anyway... how's the DPP doing?  They sound jolly promising to me!"

Crowd: [whistles]

MacPhisto: "So many names. So many places. But they all have one face. And it's... mine. And remember, Copenhagen... it's when you don't believe that I exist – that's... when I do... my best work."

[Acrobat begins]

MacPhisto: "Don't believe what you hear. Don't believe what you see. If you just close your eyes, you can FEEL THE ENEMYYY!"
